Algebra in Calcpad

[Tygra-1983]

I am wondering if Calcpad can perform simple algebraic equations.

What I mean is, I want to construct equations like:

Equation 1:
2R + 4H - 20 = 0
R = (20 - 4*H)/2

Equation 2:
R - 5 = 0
R = 5

sub Equation 2 into Equation 1
5 = (20 - 4H)/2
10 = 20 - 4H
4*H = 10
H = 5/2

'But you have to assign the values of R and H beforehand. So I cannot do this line by line working.

I don't necessarily need for Calcpad to do the algebra and solve the equation, but I do want to be able to display my workings line by line.

Can this be done?

Many thanks!

Hi, @Tygra-1983 !

You can use #noc and #equ for that (respectively before and after the non calculated equations). You may also need to use == instead of = too (if more than an equal sign in the same equation).

#noc
a - 1 = 0
#equ
a = 1

Thanks for that, Javila, once again.
